“Alright, deal,” Thom said.The guests whispered among themselves.“Crazy… he is really sure the card is real.”“He might be richer than the entire Lanster family.”Those praises made the Lanster family turn pale.Benny stepped forward. He raised his hand, trying to calm the growing wave of admiration.“Everyone, please calm down!” he shouted loudly. “Calm down!”The guests stopped talking.Benny took a deep breath, puffed out his chest, and spoke with a fake righteous tone, as if he held the moral authority in the room.“We are all Thom’s family,” he said while pointing at himself and his mother. “So we know his personality very well.”“And what my mother said is true. Thom has always lied and imagined things since he was young.”Some guests became unsure again, while others exchanged glances.Madam Lena smiled proudly because her son supported her narrative.Benny continued, “And about this black card… If it is real, we are sure of one thing. It does not belong to Thom.”“He must ha

In the end, under the growing pressure and nonstop shouting, Frank gave in.In front of all the guests, with his face burning red and his hands trembling, he lowered his body.Frank knelt!The sound of his knee hitting the floor was clear, as if it slammed directly into his pride.Several people started recording without hesitation. Phone screens lit up around the hall, capturing a moment Frank would never be able to erase.Everyone knew who Frank Lanster was.He was one of the major conglomerates. The rightful heir of the Lanster family. For years, he had been known as arrogant, domineering, and untouchable by criticism.There were many rumors about how cruel and inhumane he was toward his employees, yet no one ever dared to report him to the police. No real scandal had ever appeared on social media.Not because the rumors were false, but because Frank always paid the media to bury them.On the internet, there were only stories about his achievements, his wealth, and his charisma. He

Madam Lena froze where she stood. Her face, which had been flushed just moments ago, turned pale. Her eyes widened, and her chest felt tight, as if the air around her had suddenly grown thin. She wanted to deny what she had heard, wanted to say that this was impossible, but the scene before her eyes was far too real to ignore. Rachel was also stunned. Her eyes were fixed on Thom, filled with a mix of confusion and shock. For the first time, she felt as if she did not truly know her husband. The Thom she had always thought of as weak and powerless was now being respected by someone who was deeply respected himself! Madam Yosie and Mr. Edmund exchanged glances, their faces equally stiff. Cold sweat seeped onto Madam Yosie’s temples. If even a general like Darlene treated Thom this way, then who exactly was the son in law they had looked down on without pause all this time? “Thank you, General,” Thom said. “I have troubled you.” General Darlene shook his head. “No. This is not a

At the threshold of the shattered door, Frank stood tall with his chest out, his face hard and openly satisfied.Behind him, three military police officers in dark uniforms stood in a straight line, their hands already gripping metal handcuffs that gleamed under the house lights.Rachel was the first to react. Her eyes widened, then her lips curved into a thin smile she could not hide. Relief, even joy, surfaced openly on her face when she saw Frank standing there.Madam Yosie immediately rose from her seat. Her cold expression shifted into something far more welcoming, almost pleasant.Edmund stood as well, nervously straightening his collar, his excitement barely concealed.The door of their house lay completely destroyed, wooden splinters scattered across the floor, yet none of them cared. There was only one thing that mattered. Frank had arrived. And this was their chance to regain favor.“Frank,” Madam Yosie greeted softly, forcing warmth into her voice. “You came. This must be i

Meanwhile, inside the black Bentley that moved smoothly away from the house with its broken door, the atmosphere was the complete opposite of the loud laughter left behind.Red Dragon sat facing Thom.As soon as the car door closed tightly and the outside world was cut off, Red Dragon lowered his head. Not once, but several times, with a level of respect he would never show to anyone except one person.“Forgive me, King of War,” he said in a low and sincere voice. “I am sorry you have to go through such disgusting accusations.”Thom looked out the window for a moment, watching the streetlights pass by quickly, then shifted his gaze back to Red Dragon. His face was calm, almost relaxed, as if the handcuffs on his wrists meant nothing.“It is fine,” Thom replied flatly. “This is only a small matter.”Red Dragon fell silent for a moment, then leaned forward slightly. His voice dropped, careful and restrained.“Do you want me to remove your handcuffs, King?”Thom shook his head at once. “
